Instores instores!!
Delighted to announce we will have Declan Sinnott and Evelyn Kallansee (Evelyn & Dec) in with us for an instore on Saturday the 14th of June @ 2 pm. They have written and recorded an album together called ‘Make for Joy’. It was released on CD recently and was RTE 1 ‘Album of the Week’.
Declan you may well know from his work with Christy Moore, Mary Black, Horslips, Moving Hearts etc. He produces, writes, sings and of course plays guitar with Evelyn.
Evelyn was born on the tropical island of Curaçao, had a music career in the Netherlands and lives in Co. Kerry now.
She has gone from singing in Les Misérable to acid Jazz and everything in between.
Together they have found a new path.
In concert you will hear all the songs from their album (and the stories behind them), a few of Declan’s songs and some new takes on old songs, including their latest single ‘No
Frontiers’. Two voices, one guitar and a warm uplifting attitude.
Here is a tune from the album:
https://youtu.be/50i7SorfhNk?si=D5VAVuSlkqWTeJEQ

She’s touring the album around Ireland over the summer.
I was going to mention the CLIFFORDS as well. Well worth a listen as Ray says.

We’ll be getting the CD, deluxe CD, black vinyl and indies coloured vinyl with poster.
